i got a compliment on my car 5 times in one day
For as many people that hate the Crossfire (seems that most of them requent Jalopnik.com) I'm amazed at how many times I get compliments. Old and young kids alike too!
i get more compliments from men than women but I KNOW BY LOOKING AT SOMEONES FACE IF THEY LIKE MY CAR WHETER THEY SAY SOMETHING OR NOT they just dont want to admit my car is a BABE MAGNET but thats ok
Was at Cheaha Park last weekend, lady runs up when I park and says "Is that THE Crossfire ?"
I said "Yes, it is a Crossfire"
She replies " Wait right there, I'll be right back - have to go get my husband. I told him that he has to buy me one"
Then she says "Who makes it ? Ferrari ?"
I say "no, Chrysler / Mercedes - and they stopped making them in 2008"
She comes back with "Then I guess I'll have to get my bat too and kill you for yours"
I say " Not necessary - check online - quite a few available"
she tanks me and runs to get her husband anyway for a look ........

Sometimes little kids yell "Nice car!" as I pass by.
The older generations give me the evil eye/death glare/middle finger. (It's the exhaust)
In the end, they're all just jealous.

I get lot's of compliments also, only car that is used, that still people love it. If kepted up they all think it's new? Some can not believe it is a Chrysler, then I tell them it's a poor mans Mercades. LOL.
If I get bad looks, it's jealous working, good comments envy!

Why, did you gut or remove the muffler? If people are giving you the finger because of your exhaust then I'm guessing you did. If you did, I'd give you a WTF also. A nice exhaust note w/ a modified exhaust is one thing, but obnoxious noise polluting open exhaust(for the race track)or fart cans driving through town and peaceful neighborhoods is so .. I'm a stupid little kid that needs attention.
ha,ha hope you have a sense of humor.

While stopped at a light yesterday, a man in his mid-to-late 70s pulled up next to me, put down his window and asked who made my car. After responding that it was a Chrysler made by MB, he said, "Wow, that's a beautiful car!".

But that being said, never been pulled over for it. So they can all just...
This all happened in one week period. I was driving down a city street that runs by the community swimming pool. Four high schoolers sitting under an umbrella. One nice looking blonde catches the Crossfire and follows me down the road. I can see her telling her friends. They all look and she starts waving like mad. I really think she wanted me to come back and show them the car. Good thing she could see the car easier than me from about 75 yards.
Two days later, I'm driving by the same pool on the way home. Three young men getting ready to go off the board. The one, getting on the board, catches my XF, turns and starts hollering. All three give me a thumbs up.
Pull into the local convenience store. Young lady, at the counter, says: "That's one of those crossfires, isn't it?" After replying in the affirmative, she adds: "Man, that's beautiful..."
The next day, I'm driving through city park with a group of people in the shelter house and I notice them all following me out of the park. One of the people happened to be this convenience store lady's husband. Next day, I see her in the convenience store. "My husband saw you come through the park last evening. He said: "' Da_ _, that's one sweet ride."

I've never gotten a compliment on my '05, having owned it for the last 2 years. The closest was an older lady pulling up to me and commenting that she used to own one.
